You must be kidding me. How did this end up all the way in the middle! Well, I love this shot..the gaze is mesmerizing and I love the high contrast whites..it was in my top five for this challenge for sure.

Assuming the spots on his face are sand and not due to over processing. Maybe have enhance the shoot to tie to the title by trying to get some water drops down his face to emphasis the title. Good Luck. 6.

great texture on the skin, but a little too much glare on the white. 7

Completely unreadable expression. How intriguing!

Great portrait, love the expression, it seems that there is a bit much contrast in the shot, hence the blown out areas, maybe a tighter crop around the face would have been slightly better IMO. Nice work.

Nice DOF, love the lighting on the face, not clothes. The clothes are too bright.

Nice shot that works well in black and white. Too bad you lopped the top of his head off however :(
